Minutes:
The Neighbourhood Committee / Partnership considered a report from Emily Smith regarding the Neighbourhood Budget.
In discussion the following was noted:
a. Cllrs suggested that the separate minor signs and lines budget had previously been useful and would like to request this again. The Neighbourhood Partnership Coordinator to write to Cllr Mark Bradshaw via the Highways Team to free up the budget.
Action Emily Smith
b. A resident commented that there was unnecessary repetition on each report outlining the Public Sector Equality Duty. It was considered that this could be written in full once at the start of the agenda pack and that each report could refer to the information contained within the Duty in order to reduce the paper in the agenda pack.
c. A resident made reference to the funding that had been received in order to support the service of the number 52 bus and raised concern with regards to the reduced number 36 bus and whether funding could be made available to subsidise the route. An enquiry to be included in the letter to Mark Bradshaw.
Action: Emily Smith.
The Neighbourhood Committee RESOLVED:
(i) To note the 2016/17 Neighbourhood budget
(ii) To ringfence £30,000 for the small grants/ wellbeing budget
(iii) To ringfence £3,000 budget for Neighbourhood Officer work
(iv) To ringfence £5,000 budget for small highways works, lines and signs.
(v) To write to Cllr Bradshaw to request freeing up a separate minor lines and signs budget and raise resident’s concerns over the impact of the reduction of the Number 36 bus route?
(vi) To carry forward £1,000 budget set aside for Community cohesion and hate crime work
